Catfish is a vain waste of time. Its a reality/pointless story of me and my art friends/how may different angles can you view, Henry Joost looking "natural" and shirtless. The producers attempt to make a story about creativity and art but its just 87 minutes of mindless rambling. Catfish is an vague, ongoing, 'dialogue' of what it sounds like to be in an art circle. I asked a lawyer if I could sue for my 87 minutes of my life back. He said, 'sure, my jeep could use some new tires with an alignment.' Save it. There is no mysterious deep meaningful, reflective message or spiritual enlightenment its an on-going profile dating video with a bunch of young punks that got a hold of some money to buy a video camera. They had some time to burn with iMovie. And I am out 87 minutes. Don't bother. Wasted Time-

Do yourself a favor and condense this sucker down to three minutes when watching on YouTube. It becomes a taut psychological thriller told with digital images and flashes of character. At 87 minutes, it's self-indulgent and amateur in every sense of the word, from the jarring and cringeworthy performances to tinny dialogue. The BIG TWIST is obvious from the first few seconds of the film. Terrible as is, pretty interesting in fast forwards.

Not sure when the guys really knew it was DEFINITELY not Megan. But it was interesting. I find it hard to feel for Angela bc once she was clearly busted she continued to lie. She told Nev she had CANCER which was further emotional manipulation. she did not really fess up even when there seemed no further reason to lie. I felt awful for little Abby who was brought into an intricate lie but clearly was uncomfortable being questioned about her 'art'. Really sad statement about humans & their willingness 2 lie
